Franchize All Stars

John Henson is finally reaping the benefits of all his hard work over the past few years.  The 6’10 power forward from Round Rock, Texas made one of the biggest jumps in recent memory on the prospect rankings list.  In late 2007, Henson was ranked #25 for the class of 2009 and now just a few months later in June, the power forward has skyrocketed into the top five.

As a junior at Round Rock High School, Henson filled up the stat sheet averaging 22 points, 11 rebounds and 6 blocks per game. These impressive averages were enticing for many of the top college basketball programs.  UCLA, Texas, Memphis, Arizona and USC were all interested in the power forward but Henson decided to commit to another perennial powerhouse.

Henson kicked off the New Year in January by committing to the University of North Carolina.  Henson will join the Tarheels in 2010 and become another part of the storied basketball program that has turned out more NBA players than any other program in the past ten years.

With his big college decision off his back, Henson is now able to focus his attentions on his summer season.  Henson plays with Franchize Al-Stars out of Houston, Texas and has had an impressive summer and spring thus far.  The Franchize All-Stars will look to take home the GBOA South crown at the South region tournament in Atlanta, June 28 and 29.
